.-T m; THAT Filtltlllflflflfll Insurgent General -' Gomez; Breaks," Through \i’eyler’s Lin. : HE core T0 RELIEVE mac. Spanish Methods In the Country Districts. Their Troops Are Suffering From Ty- phus—Raids on Nearby Towns Terrii’y Havana. KEY WEST, Dec. 4.—Insurgents who un- der Raoul Arango and Valencia'on Mon- day captured the Spanish garrison at Bu- caranao raided Cojimar Tuesday evening and at 10:30 o’clock at night attacked and drove in the government outposts at Guana— bacao, dashed into the heart of the city, looteda drugstcre and set the town on fire before finally forced to retire. . Skirmishing in the outskirts continued throughout the night. Twenty-five houses in the principal streets, including a num- ter of stores, were burned before the fire was put out. Great alarm reigns in Havana. It is un- derstbod that Arango had but 600 men and Valencia 400.. Gomez hasstarted on his march to rein- vade the great central sugar districts "and relieve Maceo in the west. He crossed the J ucaro Moron trocha Sunday last, dyna- miting a railway train loaded with Span- ish troops sent to attack him and blowing up two government forts, the garrisons of which had fired upon his columns. The insurgent general in‘chief is report- ed to have with him between 5,000 and 7,000 troops, mostly infantry, and also sev- eral rapid firing field guns. Telegraphic advices via Cienfuegos today locate Gomez in the Saguanco mountains, awaiting the incorporation of the Sancti Spiritus forces lately led by Serafin San- chez, whose death is now fully confirmed. Quintin Banderas, in command of the Gomez advance columns, has, however, al- ready crossed Santa. Clara province and is about to enter Matanzas near Hana Bana. Calixto Garcia remained in the east to organize new re-enforcements. Sick Spaniards. General Suarez Inclan and his staff of 14 Officers and 483 privates, all ill of fever, reached Guanajay yesterday, having come overland from Bramales in ex carts. Sev- eral sick expired on route and were cinter- ' red on the roadside. Inclan, as well as the majority of his staff, is reported to be suffering from dys- entery, while his troops are stricken with smallpox and typhoid or yellow fever. Typhus fever has appeared among Wey- ler’s Pinar del Rio forces at Los Palacios and various local garrisons along the Western railway. ' Additional medical assistance has been urgently requested by wire from Havana, and six army surgeons and various local physicians left for the front yesterday. The preliminary proceedings in the Competitor case before Naval Judge Saul in Cabanas castle were continued on N CV. 24. Captain Laborde and George} Ferran were brought out separately and cross questioned in the presence of Teododro ~Maza, who has refused American protec- tiOn and now claims Spanish citizenship. ‘ Dr. Bcdia was also re-examined. Captain General Weyler has ordered the mayor Of Los Palacios, in Pinar del Rio, to establish zones in his territory to be given over to cultivation, the ground used as government camp and the abandoned farms to be allowed to the cultivato‘rs free of charge for two years during the war and six months afterward. This, it is expected, will do much to alleviate great misery. Lieutenant Luis Lazo recently made an extensive reconnoissance about La 'Maja- gua Loms Dicente, Cayo Benito and Cayo Rioco and dispersed the insurgents in that region. The Asturias battalion made a similar reconnoissance from Guasimas to Gabalo. They encountered numerous bands of insurgents and inflicted upon them a loss of 30 killed. The encampment was destroyed as well as many dwellings. General Ruiz reconnoitered the country about nine miles between El Chive and Sabana. The insurgents had notice of the coming of the troops and abandoned their dwellings. The column burned about 300 country dwellings and destroyed a great many fields. SergeantvMoroto and Corporal Rodriguez of the artillery have been decorated‘with a cross and have been pensioned by the queen regent for saving their company from destruction by the explosion of an enormous dynamite bomb which had been placed in the road.

No Foundation For the Sensational Ru- mors Which Are Current. SYDNEY, Dec. 4‘.-—A representative in this city of the press has investigated the death of Miss Sadie McDonald, the Ameri- On the subject in the United States. There is no truth in the statement that Julian Harris, the manager of the com- pany with which ,Miss McDonald was , play- ing, is holding back. “shocking news” or i any other news of the death of the young actress. ‘ Miss McDonald died suddenly early on Sunday morning last of cerebral hemor- rhage and paralysis of the spine, in all probability due,to overexertion. Her demise was quickened by a severe fall which she sustained recently while practicing handsprings at the Princess theater, Melbourne, for the last production Of “The Milk White Flag,” in which she appeared. ' Her remains were interred here on Mon- day last, the funeral 'b'eing attended by many theatrical and other friends and by all the members of the company to which she belonged. . » NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Sadie McDonald, was born in Brooklyn. She was about 26 years old and first attracted attention at the Academy of Music some four years ago, in “The Black Crook,” and has re- cently been a member of Hoyt’s company. Her name was at one time intimately associated in a matrimonial way with that of J ack McAuliffe, the pugilist. In Syd~ ney Miss McDonald created quite a sensa- tion. According to a dispatch from Chicago, dated Wednesday last, the Earl of Shaftes- bury had become so smitten with the charms of the American soubrette that he presented her with diamonds said to be valued at $50,000, and it was added that their engagement had been announced at the clubs of Sydney and throughout theat- rical circles. ‘ The present Earl of Shaftesbury is about 27 years of age, a lieutenant in the Tenth hussars, aid-de-camp to Lord Brassey, the governor of New South Wales, and only son of the late Earl of Shaftesbury, who died in 1885, a peer who was noted for his piety.

Prdbosition For to License Tax on ”in R.- tail Tobacoonradc." . ’ WASHINGTON, net. 4. e—Now that it seems so well settled in the minds of those per- sons who have canvassed the opinion of the leaders in congress that there will be no serious attempt at. the coming session to’pass the Dingley bill or any other equal- ly ambitious tariff measure, the inventors of tentative projects of all sorts are begin- ning to bring them forward. The most popular of these so far is a plan for levying a license tax‘ion the retail tobacco trade. The advocates of this scheme reason that, as the government charges retail liquor dealers $25 and wholesalers $100 "foi' the privilege of doing business, the same prin- ciple might properly enough be extended to the retail tobacconists, who have their shops in hundreds and perhaps thousands of places where local prohibitory laws have driven out the legitimate and taxable trade in liquors. . It is estimated roughly that although a license tax of $10 a year would be scarcely noticed by dealers who had any trade at all it would bring in enough to make up a third at least of the yearly deficit. Singu- larly enough, no opposition seems to: have come thus far from the tobacconists t em- selves. The better class of these dealers have complained for a good while of what they suffered from competition with every little stand keeper by the roadside and all sorts of petty and temporary trade at times when the legitimate trade would, in the nature of things, have thriven by sudden increase of population or travel i¥ a par- ticular district. It is this kind L- compe- tition of which they would expect to be relieved by a license tax—not the perma- nent and wholesome competition of the poor with the well in do. - P; salty Tiles Robeson.

I had to sit with both hands held up. and away from the fire. My husband had to dress and undress me like a baby. I tried the best fphysicians. but their medicines gave me no relic , and drove me almost crazy. I was ad. vised to try CUTICURA Rena-mes, and did so, although my husband had to go twenty miles to get them. As soon as he got back, I used the CUTICURA, and in five minute» after the first application I was perfectly eas , and slept soundly all that night. Before commenced v1 using the Concern Rsnsmns Icould get no - ease night or day. I could not bear to get warm, it would gut me in a rage of itching. I always keep the cm Rsnnmns in myhouse now, and recommend them to everybody, because of their wonderful effect. Yours gratefully, AGNES M. HARRIS, Push, Hecklenburg Co.
